Title: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 09:33:56 PM I just found out you can play chess on msn.
Anyone up for it? I'm out of practice but think I can put up a fair challenge. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 21, 2006, 09:36:15 PM I think you have to pay money to play.

I don't have any direct experience as I haven't played any chess for nearly 20 years.........child prodigy, obviously :D Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 09:53:57 PM Having some problems with it, bollox if you've got to pay.
Tightend has challenged me on yahoo chess, giving that a bosch. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Sark79 on March 21, 2006, 09:58:35 PM Great game.
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 10:13:18 PM Yahoo was pisch, the collabarative minds of tightend and myself couldn't figure out how to get on the same table.
Now we're giving gameknot a run. Waiting for confirmation e-mail. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: The Baron on March 21, 2006, 10:17:27 PM I've played Snoops on yahoo before - just get to an empty or quiet lounge.
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 10:21:50 PM The lounges my screen said were empty, tightys screen said were full and vice versa
The general feeling after 10 minutees of fannying around was booger this for a game of soldiers Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 10:42:58 PM So we're waiting for our Gameknot confirmation e-mails.

Another strange new online world - chess online what will they think of next? Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: BigArmo on March 21, 2006, 11:05:07 PM I want to play Manopoly >:(
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Sark79 on March 21, 2006, 11:07:10 PM If there was one game that I would like, it would be RISK. I have searched and there are a few games similar . But so far, I haven't found an online RISK game...

No the now though, gotta start work soon. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Sark79 on March 21, 2006, 11:23:16 PM Cant do a whole game but if you fancy a "move per X amount of days" game I'm down. never played that way before. Anyway going to leave it for today... I will play someone tommorow. Chess is a great game. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: AceofWands on March 22, 2006, 12:08:06 AM The biggest and best chess site on the Internet where all the serious players hang out is the Internet Chess Club www.chessclub.com
It's $49 a year to be a member but you can have full membership for a week for free to try it out. Ac Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: moritzey on March 22, 2006, 12:35:43 AM www.redhotpawn.com all the way. if you want a game, tank, or anyone, give me a shout. I like to be able to think about a move for a few days, it's a game of skill, not of speed ;)

Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: moritzey on March 22, 2006, 01:20:49 PM Alright then, if I can't convince you all to join redhotpawn.. signed up to gameknot, I'm in as moritzey.
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: moritzey on March 22, 2006, 01:26:16 PM tank and billy, activate your accounts, just tried to challenge you, but it complains you haven't completed registration yet.. if you want a 3days/move game, challenge me when you've got around to signing up completely.
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Sark79 on March 22, 2006, 01:32:51 PM Hey Moritzey, do you want a game of real time chess. rather than this 3 days permove stuff?
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Lamm on March 22, 2006, 02:26:11 PM Im up for some chess.... Not played in a while but ill give some one a go.
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: thetank on March 22, 2006, 04:29:26 PM ooo err Gameknot didn't send me any verification e-mails.
Did you get yours Tightend? I've signed up to Redhotpawn ok now though. Name is thetank444 with them too. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: b4matt on March 22, 2006, 04:43:47 PM aint got no chess on redhotporn.... did i get the right address?
Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: moritzey on March 23, 2006, 01:40:29 AM Sark: not sure if I can handle real-time chess online, maybe a blitz match if one of the sites supports that? Will definitely give you a live game at the next blonde bash, though, if you want.
Tank: Challenged you on redhotpawn now. If anyone else fancies a 3-days/move match, I'm in as moritzey on gameknot and 'karlovsky' on redhotpawn. Title: Re: Chess anyone? Post by: Sark79 on March 23, 2006, 01:43:58 AM Ok, Moritzey.. sounds like a good plan .
